Solution

Form an equation with the given information
Given, a number is $50 %$ more than $60$
Let this number be $x$
According to that, $x = 60 + 50 % of 60$
$\Rightarrow x = 60 + (\frac{50}{100} \times 60) \Rightarrow x = 60 + (\frac{1}{2} \times 60) \Rightarrow x = 60 + 30 \Rightarrow x = 90$
Therefore, $90$ is $50 %$ more than $60$ .
